Are you sure Arthur was her child? I don't see him listed under Winterbotham or Gretton.

What was her father's occupation on the marriage to Winterbotham? and her address, and the witnesses?

As for the Will- do you have a copy of it? Mr Oldham may have just been the executor.

for reference:

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
North Gate, Basford, Nottinghamshire, England

James Winterbotham Head - Male 28 1843 Loughborough Leicestershire, England
Clara Winterbotham Wife - Female 20 1851 Loughborough Leicestershire, England

No forget that one.

She married a John Fletcher in 1876.

That is the only birth registered for a Clara Gretton though between 1851==1861
